Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in code-projects Church Donation System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /members/login_admin.php. The manipulation of the argument Username leads to sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in Church Donation System 1.0's /members/login_admin.php allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL commands via the Username parameter, potentially enabling unauthorized admin access, database data theft, or complete system compromise.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements for all user inputs in login_admin.php and audit other files for similar injection flaws. Given the critical severity and public exploit, consider restricting network access to the admin login endpoint until remediation is complete.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Church Donation System is installed
    Locate the web application directory and check for the presence of the Church Donation System (Carmelo) application files, particularly the /members/ directory structure.
    Affected if The application is not found or uninstalled, then not affected.
  2. Identify installed version
    Check any version file, README, or application metadata within the Church Donation System installation directory for the exact version number.
    Affected if Version is 1.0 - affected. Version is unknown or different - compare to affected range.
  3. Verify vulnerable file exists
    Check for the presence of /members/login_admin.php file in the web application root.
    Affected if File exists at /members/login_admin.php - potentially affected if version is 1.0.
  4. Check application network exposure
    Determine if the web application is accessible over the network by attempting to access the login_admin.php endpoint or checking web server configuration for the application.
    Affected if The application is network-accessible and version 1.0 with login_admin.php present - at highest risk.

The environment is affected if Church Donation System version 1.0 is installed and the /members/login_admin.php file exists and is accessible, since the SQL injection vulnerability resides in the Username parameter of that file.
